Post To Your Business Instagram Account Faster Using Your Computer


Sometimes, it's just faster to post an image or video to Instagram on your computer.


Unfortunately, this just wasn't an option on Instagram until October of 2021. You were stuck, transferring files and text from your computer to your phone-a complete nightmare for business accounts, small business owners, and social media managers.


One of the biggest problems with Instagram is that most people still think it's only available on a mobile device. But, IGs browser-based version can access the social network on a desktop computer. The web version of Instagram lets you post photos and videos in a matter of seconds — no need to switch devices over and over again.


Here's what you can do.

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏 Go to instagram.com.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐 Click on the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑 Drag and drop your photo into Instagram (alternatively, you can click on the "select from computer" button).


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟒 [optional] click on the resize button in the lower left-hand corner and crop as needed.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟓 Click on next in the upper right-hand corner.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟔 [optional] Add filters and make lighting adjustments.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟕 Click on next in the upper right-hand corner.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟖 Paste your text into the "write a caption..." field.


𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟗 [optional] Click on add a location and add your business location.



𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏𝟎 Click on share in the upper right-hand corner.

Congratulations if you were following along because you just posted to Instagram from your computer.
